I couldn't have said it better myself. That's exactly how things appear from my point of view, except that I have not questioned your morality as you have mine, simply because we disagree on the moral and environmental implications of being an omnivore, as we are meant to be.
China and India, those "pro-active" bastions of virtue you mentioned, ARE by and large the two biggest sources of any man-made impact on our environment. China, especially, is also, perhaps not coincidentally, one of the world's biggest violators of human rights and least "free" places to live. Emulating China and India WOULD certainly hasten our path to global destruction.
I don't find debate enjoyable. You know very well that I have zero chance of changing your mind, regardless of how much verified data I post, so there's no point. Plus, I don't feel the need to change your mind. As I said earlier...live as you wish. Just maybe learn to respect others who don't share your views, and be open to the possibility that there is more than one way to live a good life. Your way is not the only way.
I come here for the beer. This has made the beer taste bad. I'm going back to having fun. Out.
